Restaurants in Airlie Beach: where to eat
Restaurants, bars and casual food in and around Airlie Beach, for guests staying with us at Whitsunday Reflections. Each listing has the address, a website and a map link.
Eating out from the apartments
Most of the restaurants below are on or near Shute Harbour Road, the main street, or along the foreshore beside the Airlie Beach Lagoon. From Whitsunday Reflections the walk down into town takes about ten minutes. The walk back up is steep, so most guests take a taxi home: 13cabs on 13 22 27 or Uber, about $8 to $13 up the hill. Getting here and around has the details.
A few are further out: Sorrento is at Coral Sea Marina, Coral Sea Pavilion and The Rocks are at Coral Sea Resort, and Northerlies is a drive away at Woodwark Bay.
Opening hours change with the seasons, so check the restaurant's website or call before you go, especially in the quieter months.
Every apartment also has a full kitchen if you'd rather eat in. Things to do in Airlie Beach lists the supermarkets and the Saturday markets.
